I am newly retired as of Jan 1st this year, and therefore I am still figuring out my new life, and struggling over how to fill my days. While I never was a planner, I was always a "goal" oriented person and tired to find "purpose" in each day. So its been difficult, although I do work 1 day a week at my OLD company, and 1 day a week at a local supermarket (NO, I am NOT a bagboy).
Today, I decided to tackle my pantry and freezer because recently I cooked some stuff that was in my freezer, and had to throw it out because clearly it WASNT FRESH....
I have a walk in pantry and a huge freezer, and can report after several intense hours, BOTH have had a re-birth..
In the pantry I found stuff dated back to 2003, unused, and several other years were represented too. Needless to say, ALL of it was a toss...
In the freezer the oldest item I found was some frozen food dated 2013 (not that bad, but still not FRESH) All of it was a toss.
I ended up with 3 garden trash bags full of stuff, and my only regret was that I couldnt send it to a food bank.....
So THIS is retirement, huh ? Can any of you RELATE to this, and do you have any suggestions for me ?
